Countries/Groups Most Likely to Start World War 3
Alpha101 This war will be the end of us, but I wonder who's going to start it.The Top Ten
1 United States of America
The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the ...read more.

What the heck, people? Trump couldn't start a world war even if he wanted to. He doesn't have the millitary know-how. And plus, Trump isn't trying to cause problems. He's trying to fix problems. He just does a really bad job at it. - JustAnAccount
Trump is threaten Russia, China, North Korea, Syria, Iran and starting trade wars with Mexico and Canada. Trump isn't respected among world leaders, so one of his mistakes could easily start world war 3.
Donald trump is the person that start the next world war
Of course the US would most likely to star WW3, Trump is really eager to prove that he is a military man via allowing war to happen so he can be a general or something. He loves missles and nukes, because there wont be blood for him to see when he starts the war, just a very huge crater.

This has to be number one! I am affended that people say USA will start a war because of Donald Trump. I disagree. First off, Trump is much better than Obama and Hilary has done nothing for the past 20 years. We have to give Trump a chance. On the other hand, North Korea is a country that doesn't let anybody live. They hacked into USA. They have nukes. They are dangerous and scary. USA is the best country ever, leave a like if you agree. GO USA!
North Korea is obviously gonna start world war 3 due to the fact that a nuclear brat is the leader in this country and North Korea is LITERALLY THE WORLDS CRAPPIEST COUNTRY!. Stupid nuclear leader and crappy third world country equals boom
North Korea + China is a very warlike alliance. Korea has already shown that they do not have common sense, and they have enough short-range missiles to cause serious problems for someone near them. China has the manpower and economic strength that they might believe that they could win World War 3. Trump will not start WW3 guys, come on!
Makes sense. Nukes for days over in that communistic radioactive wasteland.

He hates everything about western culture, seeing it as incomparable with the existance of the Russian state, and wants to obliterate it. He also wants to rebuild the Soviet Union, but under fascist rather than communist domination. This would involve the annexation of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, which are members of NATO.
Not True, he once said "Whoever doesn't miss the soviet union has no heart, but whoever wants it back has no brain" - SoldierOfFortune
Fun fact putin has went over his two term limit so he's turning the country into a dictator ship
They have a decent military. And if the Chinese says they're going to war, they're definitely going to back them up. - Alpha101

India never attack anyone
I highly doubt India will start the war no offense but Pakistan may then India retaliate and then it kicks of but they only get involved if there allies are attacked or they are threatened
As Pakistan is having 6 best army and India is having the 7 best and you can search. And India also had a war with China and always supports terrorism and it can easily be crushed. And its leader modhi killed around 1000 Muslims in Gujarat he can start a war as his own people call him terrorist and if a war starts countries with Pakistan would be China,North Korea, Russia,Iran,Turkey,all of Middle East( not Israel’s),all of Africa( not South Africa) and maybe some Europe countries
